Custom style straitjacket has been hand-signed and inscribed by rock legend, Alice Cooper! Cooper included an inscription with the lyrics from "Ballad of Dwight Fry"!

Alice Cooper, often dubbed the "Godfather of Shock Rock," revolutionized the music industry with his theatrical and macabre stage performances, blending horror imagery with hard rock music. Emerging in the late 1960s, Cooper's influence extends beyond his musical innovation; he pioneered a new genre that combined performance art with rock, paving the way for artists like KISS, Marilyn Manson, and Rob Zombie. His daring approach challenged the norms of entertainment, pushing boundaries and inspiring generations of musicians and performers to explore more elaborate and provocative stagecraft. Cooper's legacy endures not only in his enduring hits but also in his significant contribution to the evolution of live rock performances.

The jacket includes an official Beckett Authentication Services serially numbered hologram for authenticity purposes. The signing of this item was witnessed by Beckett.
